"There are several shows I go to for comfort during tough times, but none of them give me as much joy as Schitt's Creek. There's something about seeing the Rose family overcoming this hard time and stepping out of their comfort zone that makes me happy. Not only that, but this little town is so accepting of everyone, that it feels like the perfect thing to watch when you need some of that yourself." - TF

"Practical Magic is one of my all-time favorite movies. It has everything a good movie needs IMO: romance, a bit of heartbreak, Sandra Bullock, and of course, a little bit of magic. It definitely makes me cry a little every time I watch it, but while it’s a love story, it’s really about the power of sisterhood. Right now, I want to watch movies that leave me smiling, and this one definitely does." - KK

"It's high velocity pure stupidity for hours, soundtracked by sick 90s music. Seeing high school girls continue to be recklessly dumb and families squabble against the backdrop of the Irish national crisis of the time is reassuring as we deal with our own. It's jam packed with so many whip smart jokes and references that any scene is like watching the Serena vs. Federer of comedy." - KF

"I’ve been rewatching the 2010's X-Men trilogy and while they aren’t all cinematic masterpieces, X-Men: First Class will always hold a special place in my heart. A blue Jennifer Lawrence, young Zoë Kravitz, and all the eye candy I could ever want in Michael Fassbender? Yes please." - CT

"He's Just Not That Into You is a light-hearted, feel-good romcom with an amazing cast. I've seen it like a hundred times and as of this month, you can now stream it on Netflix. It's the perfect movie to watch if you're looking for something sweet and fun to give you happy vibes." - KS

"My family and I have been rewatching all of the Marvel movies in order. It's so much fun to go back and watch the ones I used to love, and ones I've never seen before! There are so many easter eggs that we didn't catch the first time around!" - CC

"What could be better than a take-charge medical examiner who doesn’t let anyone tell her what she can and can’t do? This underrated crime show is super addicting and a great series to get sucked into. Personally, I think the character Curtis is one of the funniest ones out there." - SG

"Degrassi: TNG, like from the early 2000s because it's really easy to get lost in the drama and it gets completely BONKERS at points. Plus, bonus, Baby Drake. And there are just tons of episodes. They're all available on YouTube." - RL

"I love the move Hush since it's about a deaf woman, there's little dialogue and the everyday sounds are amplified to give them more depth and meaning to the overall feeling for the main character." - KW
